I was sent a variety of Brandless products for this post as it is a partnership between myself, Moms Meet and Brandless. All opinions are my own. One of my favorite things to do in the Spring and Summer is go hiking. Despite the fact that there are ticks, (I have a real issue with […]

I recently bought a juicer and being the frugal, Eco person that I am, I hate to throw anything away. So, imagine my dismay when I saw all that pulp in the catcher of my juicer and had no idea what to do with it. I just couldn’t stand the idea of tossing it […]

I love essential oils and one of my favorite is lavender. While essential oils are great, they are also kind of spendy and need to be diluted with a carrier oil. They are a process to make as well, and most people don’t have the time, patience or equipment to make them at home. […]

Three-fourths of the earth’s surface is covered in water. Everywhere you look, you can find some body of water, natural and man-made—ponds, lakes, rivers, pools. Unlike humanity’s prehistoric ancestors, most people now, particularly those who are living in developed countries, don’t need to travel days and nights to find the nearest source of water. Twist […]

I have seen lots of articles on shopping thrift stores. Heck, I have one of my own. There is a lot of the same advice out there about shopping at thrift stores and saving the most money, but what about thrift store tips that may not have much to do with saving money entirely but […]

I feel like Earth Day is everyday, but I am always happy to celebrate it when it comes around every April. It gets me motivated again to make some changes in my lifestyle that lead to a greener planet. To be honest, it’s also a good excuse to eat a fun treat, too. This year, […]

When baking soda started popping up in almost every face cleaner out there recently, I became curious about it since it’s a common household thing and very frugal. I discovered that since baking soda is a base (as in non-acidic), it can be very gentle on your skin, so it can be a great […]

Your immune system has probably been through the ringer this year with the harsh winter most of the country experienced this time around. With spring allergy season just around the corner, that also means those ever-loathed spring colds, too. Now is the time to boost your immune system and get it ready for the […]

For many people, Earth Day (April 22 this year) is just another day. For someone like me that has a bit of a hippie in them, earth Day is an important holiday and one that I actually love celebrating. While I totally believe in the mantra, “Earth Day, Every Day”, I also love that this […]

I have loved essential oils for many years and I find them extremely useful for minor health issues, cleaning tasks as well as just creating a nice home environment with aromatherapy. Because I love them and believe they can also be dangerous, I have written a few posts on safety with essential oils. One thing […]

One of my biggest nemesis is grease in my kitchen. I have no hood over my stove, due to the space in there and my landlady not installing one. The grease covers my walls and around my stove pretty badly. It gets cooked on and it is nearly impossible to remove. In an […]
